asked the Minister of Health if he is now prepared to release the Arundel Hotel, Arundel Street, W.6.2, for commercial purposes, as it is urgently required as office accommodation by firms wholly engaged in export business.

Steps have already been taken to derequisition these premises.

Can the right hon. Gentleman say why there has been such a terrible delay in this matter?

There is often delay in many of these matters because existing users have not yet been terminated.

Can the Minister tell us the previous use of that place?

If the hon. and gallant Member puts a Question down, I will give all the information he requires.
